Against Navy Tuesday night, Caleb Wilson was a one-man battleship.
The star Tar Heel freshman willed his team to a 73-61 victory against the Midshipmen, finishing the night with his third consecutive double-double: 23 points and 12 rebounds. In the second-half alone, Wilson accounted for 17 points and eight rebounds.
UNC led by 24 points late in the second half at 68-44, but had to withstand a frantic 15-0 run by Navy to cut the deficit to single digits at the 1:58 mark. A Jarin Stevenson three-pointer broke the run and effectively sealed the game for the Tar Heels.
Notably, Tuesday’s game was Carolina’s first against Navy since 1998, and its first game against any service academy since 2004. UNC’s all-time record against Navy is just 7-14.
Tuesday’s win moves UNC to 5-0 this season, tying its best start in five seasons under head coach Hubert Davis. The Tar Heels will be back in action next Tuesday, November 25 at 6 p.m. when they face St. Bonaventure in Florida as part of the Fort Myers Tip-Off.
